The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible risk factors connected with tooth wear. Using the Tooth Wear Index (TWI) and the charting of pre-disposing factors tooth surface loss was recorded in 506 patients, of the Dental Hospital, Prince of Songkla University. We found that age, sex, number of tooth loss, frequency of alcohol, sour fruit and carbonate intake were significant risk factors. Regarding the tooth position, the first molar showed the greatest degree of wear, while the canine and premolar showed the least, respectively. The occlusal surface showed the greatest wear and the cervical, lingual and buccal surfaces showed the least, respectively.
